A Change Is Gonna Come

A Well, it's dark in the city A I've lost my pride Bm F#m The lights in the streets hide the stars from my eyes A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A And it's too hard living A But I'm afraid to die Bm Cause I don't know what's up there F#m Just beyond the sky A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A And I miss my family A My little girl Bm She is my princess F#m I'd give her the world A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come Bm F#m I just need some comfort Bm F#m Some kind of belief Bm F#m That this war we're fighting B E Can really bring some peace A There's no rhyme nor reason A Or sweet melody Bm More and more weapons F#m Mean less security A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A And I've tried to find it A Some better place Bm Where having the biggest gun F#m Ain't some kind of race A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A There's been times I thought A I couldn't last for long Bm But now I think I'm able F#m To carry on A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A Bm It's been a long, long time coming C#m F#m A But I kno--ow a change is gonna come A Yes, a change is gonna come
